Procedure for positioning a small internal portion of a body at a predetermined point relative to an external source of shock waves or the like, for treatment of the positioned body portion, wherein a volume of the body including the body portion is imaged with penetrating radiation by each of two detectors respectively aligned with viewing axes intersecting at the predetermined point; the coordinates of the body portion on each of the two images thus produced are measured and corrected for imaging distortions; from these corrected coordinates, there is derived a set of three-dimensional spatial coordinates for the body portion, defining a displacement vector giving the magnitude and direction of body motion required to position the body portion at the predetermined point; and the body is displaced with a resultant motion of that magnitude and direction.

The present invention provides a medical imaging system comprising a guidance means for guiding a carriage along the longitudinal direction of a patient couch, and an imaging ring system with a carriage ring fixed to the carriage, a first rotatable ring carrying a first imaging unit, and a second rotatable ring carrying a second imaging unit, wherein the first and second rotatable rings are configured to be rotated independently from each other on the carriage ring. Preferably, the first imaging unit is a radiation source and the second imaging unit is a radiation detector. The invention further provides a preferably ceiling mounted patient positioning system for use in a medical intervention, comprising a robotic arm having six axes, and a patient couch wherein the couch is fixed to the robotic arm via a C-shaped bow.

A patient table for a common imaging system including Magnetic Resonance and X-ray retains the patient stationary in position prior to, during and subsequent to the imaging and includes a base, a patient support portion cantilevered from the base and a mattress. The RF posterior coil portions for the head and for the chest can be inserted into and removed from an operating position underneath the head and chest of the patient while patient remains supported. The chest coil is inserted from one edge in a cavity in the mattress which is reinforced by a sleeve. The signal communication cable from the chest coil is routed in front of the mattress and over the mattress so as to not to be exposed at the sides. The head coil is carried on a base plate of the patient support alongside the head support which remains in place.

A cantilever mounted table for an X-ray patient undergoing procedures requiring tilting the table head to foot or canting the table about its longitudinal axis allows a medical team free axis to one side and an end of the patient, and provides an improved collision sensing switch in the event the table stikes an obstruction below.
摘要:
An apparatus for tilting a patient supported on a diagnostic table and simultaneously maintaining a selected isocenter of the patient at a selected fixed point in space comprising a table for supporting the patient within an examination zone of a diagnostic apparatus; a vertical carriage mechanism connected to an end of the table for raising and lowering the end of the table through a predetermined range of vertical travel; a tilt pivot connecting the end of the table and the vertical carriage mechanism, for supporting the table and tilting through an arc of at least about 10 degrees; a horizontal leg mechanism movably mounted to the vertical carriage mechanism for moving the vertical carriage mechanism and the table through a predetermined range of horizontal travel; the vertical carriage mechanism being movably mounted on the horizontal leg mechanism; the horizontal leg means being movably mounted on an overhead arm mechanism; wherein the vertical carriage mechanism is movable along a vertical travel and the horizontal leg mechanism is movable along a horizontal travel sufficient to maintain the isocenter of the patient at the fixed point in space when the table is tilted around the tilt pivot.

An X-ray imaging apparatus having an improved structure to reduce noise generated when a position of an X-ray generator is fixed in position includes an X-ray generator, an X-ray detector, a moving carriage coupled with one end of the X-ray generator, a guide rail, and a holding unit disposed at an inner side of the moving carriage to hold the position of the X-ray generator, wherein the holding unit includes a contact pad to contact the guide rail to hold the moving carriage, a magnetic body to move the contact pad using magnetic force, and a holding plate coupled to the contact pad to move according to operation of the magnetic body and including a buffer material capable of absorbing noise or vibration.
摘要:
A patient table for a common imaging system including Magnetic Resonance and X-Ray retains the patient stationary in position prior to, during and subsequent to the imaging and includes a base, a patient support portion cantilevered from the base and a mattress. A safety system is provided for controlling the operation of the magnet and MR system and the X-Ray systems to allow effective safe operation and controls the movement of the magnet to the table and the movement of the X-Ray imaging systems to and from the table to locations where they do not interfere with the MR imaging.
